Summary

A previously reported experimental technique for estimation of the per-operative intravascular tumor cell shedding was further studied. A significantly increased tumor cell shedding was found in rats after tumor biopsy compared with animals operatively prepared for such a biopsy. An attempt was made to estimate the number of intravascularly shedded vital tumor cells under biopsy.

Zusammenfassung

Eine früher beschriebene experimentelle Methode zur Bestimmung der intra-operativen, intravasculären Aussaat von Tumorzellen wurde weiter studiert. Bei Ratten wurde nach Biopsie der Tumoren eine signifikant vermehrte Aussaat von Tumorzellen gefunden im Vergleich mit den Tieren, die nur für die Biopsie operativ vorbereitet wurden. Es wurde versucht, die Anzahl der intravasculär ausgeschwemmten, vitalen Tumorzellen zu bestimmen.
